Show HN: Quorbo – a quick and quirky quest for the quote Hey HN, Today I'm launching Quorbo (www.quorbo.com): a simple letter-revealing game (think Wheel of Fortune with some twists) where you get 6 turns to guess the day's quote!

(improvements, bugs / quirky behavior / stumbling blocks, any and all feedback welcome!) Enjoy! https://quorbo.com April 18, 2023 at 03:46AM
